Mamelodi Sundowns co-manager Manqoba Mngqithi was encouraged to see his two new forwards, Kermit Erasmus and Peter Shalulile, score in the opening match of the DStv Premiership.
Erasmus and Shalulile hit the mark for the Sundowns when they defeated the Kaizer Chiefs 3-0 at FNB Stadium on Saturday, with the other goal from recently crowned Footballer of the Year winner Themba Zwane.
Over the past few seasons, Sundowns relied on Zwane and Gaston Sirino for goals. But Mngqithi believes the two will now improve their goal rate as they look to continue their dominance in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).
“We have not been able to score enough goals. We have been creating many opportunities, we have worked very hard to improve those statistics, but we have not been able to reach our goals. We were just unlucky because our defensive record is normally good, ”Mngqithi said after the match.
“But with Kermit, [Gift] Motupa, [Mauricio] Affonso, Gaston and Shalulile, we should expect a little better in terms of the numbers we can collect from them. “
